baikonour · 5th May 2008

We have a real RE- 201 andwe also had a mint RE-150 we sold a few month ago, we have a Binson echorec II and a Watkins Copycat....So I now the tape echoes and analog delays pretty well

But since we got the UA RE-201, we are using the old box less and less. I don't say that the original has no value anymore, it's a great tool and really inspiring, it's good to tweak it and track something through it but as a mixing tool, the UA RE-201 is better. Soundwise, I have no problem using the plugin instead of the original. UA really nailed it (same for the CE-1 and Dimension D)
